Michael Ford

CEO & Founder, Castaway Forecasting

Michael Ford is a lifelong entrepreneur with the battle scars to prove it. He’s invested millions in building businesses, he’s been broke and he’s been not broke.


Today, Michael is the founder and CEO of Castaway Forecasting. After a dozen years with KPMG and PwC, Michael started his first business. It failed. And then it grew … fast. Since then, he’s worked with thousands of businesses and their advisers, built a bunch of businesses, and founded Castaway, the most powerful business forecasting and modelling software on the market.

Michael is a sought-after consultant, commentator, and thought leader on the art of growing successful businesses. Michael is driven to make sure small businesses have access to business and performance information via advisers, accountants, and reliable tools, so they can make informed decisions.

Michael is a published author and is currently working on his next book. He is also a keen road cyclist and rides around 14,000km per year for his chosen charity, Tour de Cure Australia.
